Go karting sector 18 Gurgaon residents reach first is the F9 circuit on the Link Road, a 450 m loop that sits closer to the city centre than any other track in the network. It is the shortest circuit F9 runs and the cheapest, which makes it the default first visit for most people on this side of Gurgaon.

This page is the practical guide: what the circuit is like to drive, what it charges on weekdays, weekends and for groups, how a session runs from sign-in to timing sheet, and when it is worth driving further out instead.

Go karting sector 18 Gurgaon: the Link Road circuit

At 450 m, this is a lap built around corners rather than top speed. There is no long straight to gather speed on, so the kart is always either turning or about to turn. The effect is that a session feels busy: more inputs per minute than on a longer circuit, more chances to get a corner right or wrong.

For a beginner that is an advantage. The next corner is always visible, the lap is short enough to learn in a handful of laps, and a mistake costs a second rather than the whole lap. For an experienced driver it is a different skill: precision and rhythm instead of outright pace.

What a session costs

Weekday and weekend cards are structured differently. Weekdays are sold by laps, weekends by minutes. Every rate includes 18% GST.

• Weekday: 16 laps ₹700, 22 laps ₹800, 34 laps ₹1,100.
• Weekend and public holidays: 11 minutes ₹800, 18 minutes ₹1,200, 35 minutes ₹2,100.
• Group of six karts: 18 minutes ₹6,600, 35 minutes ₹11,500, 50 minutes ₹15,000.

Because the lap is short, 16 laps is a quicker session than the number suggests — well under fifteen minutes of driving for most people. If you are travelling across the city to get here, the 22 or 34 lap package is the better buy; the difference between ₹700 and ₹1,100 is smaller than the cost of coming back a second time.

Who this circuit suits

• First-timers. Short laps, low entry price, and a circuit you can learn inside a session.
• Small groups. The six-kart block at ₹6,600 fits a group of six to twelve without needing a full grid.
• Anyone near Iffco Chowk, MG Road or Sector 17. The drive is short enough for an evening plan rather than a half-day trip.
• Families testing whether children enjoy it. The cheapest way to find out, and the session is over before anyone gets bored.

How the session runs

The order is fixed and worth knowing before you arrive.

• Names go on the timing sheet at sign-in.
• Helmets are fitted; a loose helmet is the usual reason for a headache afterwards.
• Briefing covers flags, overtaking and what to do after a spin.
• The first lap is a sighting lap at reduced pace.
• Timed laps follow, and the session ends with a lap sheet.

Ask for the timing sheet even if you are not racing anyone. It is the difference between “that was fun” and knowing which corner is costing you time on your next visit.

Getting there

The circuit sits off the Link Road in Sector 17/18. From Iffco Chowk it is roughly three kilometres, which makes it the closest track to the junction and the easiest one to reach from MG Road, Sector 17 and the older part of the city.

If you are coming by metro, Iffco Chowk station on the Yellow Line is the nearest stop, followed by a short auto ride. From Delhi, the Yellow Line runs direct to Iffco Chowk, so this is the one F9 circuit you can reach without driving at all.

Sector 17/18 against the rest of the network

Every F9 circuit sells the same activity at a different scale. Knowing where this one sits makes the choice easy.

• 450 m here. Cheapest, shortest, most central. Weekday laps from ₹700.
• 850 m at Sector 59. The group venue, with 15 and 30 minute weekend blocks at ₹1,100 and ₹2,100. See the Sector 59 page.
• 1,050 m at Sector 68. The longest circuit, with 12 and 20 kart group blocks. See the Sector 68 page.
• 950 m at GT Karnal Road. The Murthal-route track, best folded into a longer drive. See the GT Karnal Road page.
• 900 m at Dwarka Expressway. Same rate card as Sector 68, on the western side of the city.
• 1,250 m at Baghpat. Private hire only: ₹1,50,000 for a full day or ₹75,000 for five hours.

Therefore, choose by distance first and track length second. A 450 m circuit twenty minutes away beats a 1,050 m circuit an hour away for a weeknight plan.

What to bring

• Closed shoes with a flat sole.
• Trousers rather than shorts, particularly for children.
• No loose scarf or dangling jewellery.
• A hair tie if you have long hair.
• Nothing else. Helmets and the briefing come from the track.

What a good lap looks like on a 450 m circuit

On a short circuit the lap is decided by how quickly you get back on the power, not by how late you brake. Braking late feels fast and usually costs time, because the kart arrives at the corner sideways and you cannot accelerate until it is straight again.

• Brake in a straight line, then release before you turn the wheel.
• Wait for the apex. On a tight lap, turning in early feels natural and forces you to lift on exit.
• Get on the power early and let the kart run out to the edge on exit. That is where the lap time is on this circuit.
• Repeat one lap exactly. Three identical laps beat one fast lap followed by two messy ones.

The tightest corners deserve the most patience. A short circuit has several of them, so the driver who brakes early and exits clean usually wins the session without ever looking spectacular.

Group block or individual laps?

Two people should buy individual laps. Six or more should buy a block, because a block puts everyone on track together and costs less per kart than six separate tickets.

The six-kart block starts at ₹6,600 for eighteen minutes, which is ₹1,100 per kart. Six people each buying the 34-lap weekday package would pay ₹6,600 for a longer session, so the arithmetic is close — but only the block guarantees you race each other on the same grid at the same time.
